ACE 9 Outcome: Exhibit global awareness or knowledge of human diversity through analysis of an issue.
If a student participates in a UNL approved global experience, they are eligible to apply that experience to the ACE 9 outcome completion. UNL approved programs include faculty-led, exchange, affiliated, or other programs that students have pre-approved before departure. A minimum of 3 credit hours must be completed during the experience, either as UNL credit or transferred back to UNL. The experience of going abroad, not necessarily the course itself, will satisfy ACE 9.
Prior to departure, the student will enroll in a zero-credit UGEP 250 course and submit a project proposal. In the term in which the student is abroad, the student is required to submit a 5- to 7-page reflection paper or a creative work addressing a global issue they encountered during their experience.
(Note: Students who studied abroad prior to Fall 2019 may use the previous "Completion Form for ACE 9 Post-Global Experiences.")
For a detailed explanation of the Global Experience for ACE 9 option, waiver process, see the ACE website.
FOR UNDERGRADUATE UNL STUDENTS ONLY: If you are earning at least 3 academic credits abroad, you may apply your Global Experiences experience to satisfy your ACE 9 requirement.
To receive ACE 9 outcome completion waiver for your Global Experiences experience, you must complete a pre-approved paper or project reflecting on a global issue you encountered on this experience. Your paper or project will be due by the end of the UNL term in which you are abroad. Please note that a waiver of ACE 9 is given, no additional credit hours are granted for ACE 9.
